Deskribapena

Welcome to the Scientific Computation Service of the UPV/EHU. The aim of the service is to satisfy researchers basic requirements for Scientific Computing providing them the most advanced technologies in the field. We provide not only strong computational resources but human resources in order to assist researcher using HPC in their research. We are open for all researchers from the UPV/EHU, from the Basque Network of Science, Technology and Innovation (RVCTI), and also other external researchers, that requires the use of HPC under similar conditions to those from the UPV/EHU. The IZO-SGI is part of the General Research Services (SGIker) of the University, and follows its regulations in accordance with the directives set out in the First University Plan. The users of the service are requested to acknowledge our resources in any scientific production that was obtained using our resources and to upload their production.

Ekipamendua

Arina consists of 1400 cores for computing distributed in nodes of 8 and 12 cores: 1104 Xeon Cores of last generation 32 Xeon Cores, in nodes with Tesla GPGPUs Computing 224 Itanium2 Cores 40 Opteron Cores The nodes have between 16 and 128 GB of RAM and are interconnected via an InfiniBand network with high bandwidth and low latency. It also has two sets of read / write disks which have high-performance parallel computing of 4.7 and 22 terabytes of capacity.
Péndulo is a scientific computing grid that uses the UPV/EHU IT room computers as hubs during the time slots where those computers are inactive. A highly-scalable project of our own design. This grid has been built using the Bizkaia CIDIR (Network, Research and Educational Computer Centres) resources, in order to provide a useful tool to the research community. The project began in the Campus Room, located in the Library building, with 60 dual core computers. The Course Room in the same building, with a further 20 units which meant a total of 160 cores were subsequently included. The grid characteristics enable it to be expanded via the incorporation of other computer rooms.
